How can you help?

To make your visit to the emergency department as smooth as possible, there are a number of things you can do:

• Have your Ontario Health Insurance card ready. If you are from outside Ontario, have your health insurance information ready.
• Have a list of all medications you take on a regular basis, and any other important information (such as allergies) ready.
• If possible, bring a supply of your medications with you, in case you have to be admitted, or you have a long wait.
• Please talk with a nurse if you decide to leave without seeing a doctor.
• Please do not eat or drink anything without first checking with a nurse.
